mr. tribe and i have a standing date on sunday afternoons. we head out to a coffee shop and sit and talk and sip. we've been proudly asking for our coffee in to-stay cups long enough that now, when they see us coming they just grab the cups. now that makes me smile big! when i want a cup to go, i can bring my klean kanteen or a mason jar...or wait until i get home to make a cup for myself. good plan.
but this plan is not ironclad...for me. the other night, i was brought an earl grey latte and it was so good. i was grateful, and i totally forgot about the cup until my tea was gone. sorry, but this won't be the last time.
the point of this entry is to say... if i do find myself with a disposable cup...i can choose not to just give up and dump the cup into the trash can like everyone else. the lid and the sleeve are recyclable! i can take my cup home and recycle those pieces there.
why don't all of these shops have recycling bins? (we did actually see one in a small town starbucks...and complimented them on it. maybe you have them- that's something!) so bonus points for asking (maybe repeatedly) if your shop might think about working toward getting recycling bins in the shop.
may all your beverages be waste free and delicious! :)
love,
jane
